It’s November, and already the black Friday buildup has
begun. Amazon is advertising Countdown
to Black Friday deals. I signed up for an ad from Book Blast for their Holiday
advertising. Put your tennis shoes on and be prepared for the holiday races to begin.
Our family is small, and we have to travel to San Angelo to
spend Thanksgiving with my parents who live about thirty miles out of town.
There are main roads into town, but at night or early in the morning you have
to watch for deer. In the past, on two separate occasions, my parents have hit
deer crossing the road at night, which does considerable damage to your car.
When we drive out to their place, my husband, and I are always watching for those
rascally deer who run right in front of you. Once we’re there for Thanksgiving,
we usually don’t go anywhere in town until it’s daylight.
Plus, I find it very hard to get up at three in the morning
and go shopping just so that I can get some great deals. I’m snuggled up under
the covers, dreaming of Ryan Gosling and how I can persuade him to appear on my
next book cover. But a lot of people enjoy this early morning shopping spree. I know
women who pour over the sales ads and plan their shopping excursion.
